The Meekatharra Project comprises three sub-project areas: Bundie Bore, Bluebird South & Cue, and covers an area of 266 km2. All three areas lie within a prolific gold precinct which has produced several million ounces historically and is home to Westgold Resources, soon to be Australia’s newest mid-tier gold producer through a merger with Karora Resources Ltd.
Westgold’s Murchison Operations include four underground mines, two processing plants, and three development projects, all of which are located within trucking distance of Voltaic's tenements, enhancing logistical efficiency and operational synergy for any potential gold discovery.
The Bluebird South sub-project area comprises a single exploration licence application (E 51/2022) covering an area of 70 km2 and is located approximately 20 km south-west of the town of Meekatharra in Western Australia, and 5 km south of the Bluebird Gold Mine. Bluebird South is situated in the Mid-West region of Western Australia, 970 km north-east of Perth.
The Bundie Bore sub-project area comprises two (2) exploration licences (E 51/1909, E 51/1946) and three (3) prospecting licences (P 51/3145, P 51/3146, P 51/3147) covering an area of 126 km2, and is located approximately 40 km south of the town of Meekatharra in Western Australia.
The Cue sub-project area comprises a single exploration licence (E 51/2057) covering an area of 70 km2 and is located approximately 60 km north-east of the town of Cue in Westem Australia. The Meekatharra Gold project area is situated in the Mid-West region of Western Australia, 600 km north-east of Perth, and lies within the Yilgam Craton, and encompasses a portion of the Archean Meekatharra-Wydgee Greenstone Belt within the Murchison Province which, historically, it is one of the more productive gold-bearing greenstone belts in WA, hosting numerous +1.0 M oz gold mining 'camps' including Meekatharra, Cue, Yaloginda-Bluebird, Big Bell, and Mt Magner. Moreover, a 1-4 km wide, north-south trending Cenozoic paleochannel covers about 50% of the project area along its western half, and channels in the region are prospective for gold and uranium mineralisation.
The Meekatharra project is prospective for paleochannel-hosted orogenic and intrusion-related gold mineralisation. Historical drilling has identified several low-level gold intersections that deserve additional evaluation.
